Micro Wines Description
Clean fruit picked on March 17th. Grapes hand-picked and transported to Torquay, Victoria overnight. Rested for 24 hours in cool sun. Fully destemmed into open-top fermenters, where a wild ferment commenced. Daily punch-downs, one rack and return with aggressive foot-stomping, and racked after alcoholic fermentation into 5 year-old puncheons. Wines went through full malolactic fermentation, and received 60 ppm of sulfur at the end of it. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.
Tasting Note: A fragrant and floral nose of fresh rosella and cherry blossom. On the palate, the wine is light on its feet, juicy but fresh, with ultra soft tannins. Flavors of tart raspberry, lilly pilly (a native stone fruit reminiscent of sour plum), saltbush, and pickled watermelon rind. Light and gulpable, yet complex with lots of interest.
